Description

<p>Studies on hospital art (as public art) have been addressed through various approaches in recent times. Although it is difficult to say that hospital art (as public art) has become common, various practical examples in advanced hospitals have been reported. This is because people are beginning to pay attention to the healing power of art. In this background, as time progresses, medical care that had been regarded only in terms of performance and effectiveness is being reconsidered. It may be one of the pressing issues in Japan, where aging is progressing rapidly. In this circumstance, a questionnaire survey was performed with doctors, dentist, pharmaceutics, nurses, paramedic, clerks, vendors and patients (outpatients and attendants) regarding the practices of hospital art (monument “FOUR SEASONS TREE” as public art), which the author approached. Based upon the results of the survey, the intention and process of art works (monument “FOUR SEASONS TREE” as public art) and their acceptance were verified. Based upon the resultant outcome and tasks clarified by the questionnaire, a discussion was attempted concerning how art should be in hospitals or society.</p>
